Paellas & Fideuà

Paella is probably the most famous and popular Spanish dish around the world. It originates in Valencia, a region on the Mediterranean coast where I was born.Traditionally paella is made on a Sunday with all the members of the family in the Mediterranean provinces, the women need a day off from cooking, and usually the men cook on Sunday.

“Fideuà” is a very popular traditional main course similar to “paella.” Cooked in a paella pan, it is made with noodles and seafood cooked in fish broth. “Fideuà” is quicker and easier than making “paella,” and is as colorful and flavorful as well, making it a perfect dish for warm weather.
